Fantasy Impact

While Akers by far saw the most carries on the team, he failed to do much with them. He averaged a dismal 1.6 YPC, and the Bengals front seven was dominating the Rams offensive line in the run game from start to finish. He added three catches for 14 yards through the air, but his inefficiency didn't stop them from winning the big game. Considering how major of an injury he had, dynasty managers should be encouraged to see him on the field and getting the majority workload for the Rams.

Cam Akers remained sidelined at practice on Thursday.

This is now back-to-back missed practices for Akers, but there is still 10 days till the Super Bowl. It is hard to imagine he doesn't play in the Super Bowl, but his status will need to continue to be monitored through next week.

Cam Akers was listed as a non-participant on the Rams' estimated practice report on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Akers had carved out the lead role in the Rams backfield after his miraculous return from an Achilles injury, but a shoulder injury knocked him out of action for a time during the team's win over the 49ers in the NFC Championship game. The fact that Akers returned to the game after leaving with the injury certainly suggests that the ailment isn't overly serious. With an extra week to prepare for the Super Bowl, fantasy managers shouldn't read too much into estimated practice reports. If Akers doesn't see the practice field by this time next week, then it may be time to panic.

Cam Akers took 13 carries for 48 yards in the Rams NFC Championship win against the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

The entire Rams ground game couldn't find any rhythm all game as they averaged just over two yards per carry on the ground. Akers also left the game for a short period of time, but he was later able to return. Akers will look to bounce back in the Super Bowl against the Bengals.

Rams running back Cam Akers (shoulder) is questionable to return in the NFC championship game.

Fantasy Impact

A big blow if he cannot return to the Rams backfield Sunday. Sony Michel now takes over as the lead back.
